Rockets got lucky without Yao. They can win without McGrady because he hasn't been healthy for 3 years or so, but they can't without Yao. He does too much on offense...mainly having a buncha effective post moves and good passing.

Also watching more of Dwight Howard....i kinda think he is overrated....He has no post moves right now.

EDIT: Overrated as....he is still the 2nd best center in the NBA. Once he gets post moves he'll be teh best.

However, i thik they acomplished so much this season. With Yao and Tmac out, they went the extra mile. All those players work their asses off every single game, and that's why theyre so successful. I wish we had a team in which every player gives 100%. Rick Adelman deserved COTY.

Also people, check out he most recent issue of Sports Illustrated. Has an article featuring Shane Battier on how to guard Kobe. good read...

im sorry to say but i disagree on the carmelo part he is a superstar and he is important to that team, but ultimately it's because of billups that they are still playing, carmelo's taken them to the playoffs but they never advanced till this year it's all billups i hope we get a player of that caliber on our team soon. Dude is clutch and is one of the best leaders in sports, easily a HoF in my books

outside the lines did a great story about billups before. this has to be a one-of-a-kind story (correct me if that statement is wrong). but going from the "guy-who-got-drafted-after-duncan" bust to a future HoF. just unheard of to me at least. 7 straight conference finals, hes a hall of famer for sure. his resume isnt even complete eitha. great story is chauncy billups. used the most out of oppurtunity

Mr big shot made melo better. Melo focuses on leadership and defense, and his iq has definitely gone up this past season. Chauncey is the Commander, but Melo has been delivering most of the clutch buckets. In the playoffs, i think they both have been an equal part of Denver's success. When Billups retires and Melo's still playing, uits not like hell forget all he's learned. He will continue to get better. Chauncey is just what he needed. I remember someone comparing him to Al harrington a while ago. forget it now, id want melo here. Defense.
